Bill Cartwright was the big man Jordan didn’t know he needed. Traded for Charles Oakley in 1988, Cartwright drew the ire of Jordan just for being there. The move worked though, as Cartwright was an essential and often overlooked piece of the Bulls first 3-peat.

After his playing days were over, Cartwright moved up the bench and into coaching. He was an assistant on Phil Jackson’s bench from 1996-1998 and even took the head job with Chicago from 2001-2003. After leaving the NBA in 2012, Cartwright most recently coached in Japan and Mexico. These days he is the University of San Francisco’s Director of University Initiatives.
